Pulling into the Raven parking lot, she sits in her car for a few minutes, and watches people walk in and out of the store, and throughout town. Finally seeing that the store is empty, she gets out of the car, and walks in. As she walks to the back of the store, she sits down in front of Victoria, and watches her make a necklace, and she asks, "Hey Victoria! How are things going? What has everyone been up to?"

"Things have been good. And we've been busy, as usual," she says, as she finishes the necklace. Getting up, and putting the necklace on a table, she then looks over at Luna, and then asks, "What brings you in?"

"Feeling a little off lately. I'm sensing that Kyle is hiding something," Luna says, as she turns around, and looks out the window.

"Really?" Victoria asks with a whisper, as she walks back over to the table, and sits back down. As she looks around the room, and then behind Luna, she then asks, "What do you think he's hiding?"

"I'm not sure. I'm starting to suspect that he's a witch or he's been cheating. I'm only saying this because there's pressure on my head every so often, and then it's released. I'm sensing that he's being pushy with something or someone. It's almost like he wants something," Luna says, as she turns back around, and looks at Victoria.

"I can tell you that he hasn't been practicing any witchcraft in this town, let alone visiting anyone. If he was heightening his senses he wouldn't be doing it in this town. And the only time I run into him is when he's down at the Salem harbor fishing," she says, as she pulls out her tarot cards, and begins to shuffle them. Shuffling the cards, and looking around the room, she then lays a couple of cards on the table. Placing her left hand over the cards, she then says, as she looks at Luna, "You're right! Kyle isn't telling you everything. I can tell you that I don't see anything here that is about cheating. And even if I did know that he was up to something, do you think it's a good idea for me to tell you. You'll figure it out."

"Thanks for the info," Luna sarcastically says.

"There's nothing more I can tell you. The reading is gone. How's the journaling and wearing the purple going?" Victoria asks, as she puts the cards back in the deck, and then puts them away. As she stands up and walks over to the other side of the room, she smells a plant, and then says with a smile, "You know the journaling and wearing all that purple will pay off in the long run!"

"Yeah, I know that! Thanks for the info, Victoria. I'll see you later," Luna says, as she stands up. As she walks to the front of the store, she then yells, "Tell Laura, I said hi."

"Of course, I'll tell her! And you're welcome. That's what we're here for," Victoria says, as someone walks into the store.

As Luna walks out to the parking lot, she then gets in the car, and watches Ivory walk over to the vehicle with shopping bags in her hand. And as she approaches her, Luna says, "Hey Ivory! What are you doing in town?"

"I stopped in town to do some shopping! I bought some clothes," Ivory says, as she jumps into the passenger seat, and puts her bags in the back seat. Putting on her seatbelt, she then looks over at Luna, and then says, "Let's head over to the wharf, and hang out there for a little bit. I want to watch the boats."

"Alright! Sounds like a plan," Luna says, as she drives over to the wharf. As she pulls into the parking lot, they get out of the car, and sit on the hood of the car for quite a while. Watching the boats sail out into the harbor, and the seagulls flying overhead, Luna then says, "I'm going to walk over to the water. I'm going to grab some seashells."

"Okay," Ivory says.

With Luna jumping off the hood of the car, she then walks over to the water, and picks up a couple of seashells, while looking at her reflection on the water. Seeing Kyle's energy on her face, she stares back at it, while asking Ivory, "Are you ready to head back home?"

"I'm ready whenever you are," Ivory says, as she jumps off the hood of the car, and gets in the passenger seat.

"Alright! Let's head home," Luna says, as she walks up to the car, and then gets in. And as she starts the car, she then says, "Let's stop and get something to eat."

"Okay! I'm hungry. I can go for a bite to eat," Ivory says, as Luna pulls out of the parking lot, and drives down the road with the music playing. And as she pulls into the fast-food drive thru minutes later, they place their order, and wait in line. Sitting in the car, and waiting for their food, Ivory then asks, "So! What has Geo been up to?"

"I'm not sure. He did stop into my work a few weeks ago," Luna says, as she looks over at Ivory, who's looking out the passenger side window. As she watches her, she then see's Geo appear in her psychic space. Grabbing her phone, she then opens the media, and goes to his page. Looking at the two new pictures he just posted, she senses that he's reading hers, and she says, "Speak of the devil. He just posted something."

"He did?" Ivory asks, as she takes Luna's phone and looks at the pictures, while Luna pulls up to the drive thru window, and grabs the food. As she closes the media, she then puts the phone in the console, and grabs her french fries out of her bag, and then says with a chuckle, "Well!"

"Ummm! No comment," Luna says, as she pays the women behind the counter, and then pulls out of the drive thru, and begins to drive home. And as she drives, she watches Geo dissipate in her space, while Ivory eats her fries, and she then says, "How's the food?"
